Sam Rockwell (Iron Man 2) is in negotiations to play former Commander in Chief, President George W. Bush in Adam McKay’s untitled Dick Cheney biopic. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news, that Rockwell will portray Bush, the president who Cheney served under from 2001-2009. The movie will be written and directed by McKay, who won an Academy Award for his The Big Short screenplay.

The film will reportedly also follow Cheney’s path from avoiding military service during the Vietnam War to becoming the CEO of Haliburton to his stint as one of the most powerful vice presidents in history. Christian Bale will take on the role of Cheney, Amy Adams as Cheney’s wife, Lynne, and Steve Carell as former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

The project is aiming for a production start in September.
